(Beijing) The Chinese government has begun a "clean-up" of gay Web sites an English language Chinese newspaper reported Friday.
The Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post says that China's internet domain-name registration company has shut down several popular gay Web sites under what the paper said was pressure from police.
The registration company is controlled by the government.
All of the sites were forums where people could post information. One of the sites, tzgay.ful.cn received 100,000 hits per day. It was frequently used by people to discuss coming out.
Another of the closed sides, chinagay.ful.cn, disseminated information on safe-sex. Since it opened last February it has had about 400,000 the Morning Post said.
Following the crackdown other forums sites have begun purging LGBT content.
Last month a man who used the internet to organize parties for gay men to meet for sex was sentenced to a year behind bars. (story)
Gay life in China is mainly underground. It is estimated there are 48 million gays in China.
The government has been criticized in the West for lagging in HIV/AIDS education The Joint UN Program on HIV/AIDS, or UNAIDS, has warned that up to 10 million people in China could be infected by 2010 without more aggressive prevention measures.
A report issued in March by China's Ministry of Health showed that only about 30 percent of the country's college students have a full understanding of HIV/AIDS.
